They fixed up my front bumper. (SE Location) Awesome job, and it was pennies compared to a body shop.

Thanks! Where'd you disappear to the last little while? It better have involved beers and bikinis! I have some ideas to toss around with you but I'll see you at RC Friday.

nice numbers...285, u beat mine by 4hp and 20lb trq. But then again i still had issues with my tune, previous tuner in halifax really fucked it up, steve fixed most of it but there was still a drop in power at 3500rpm

HA-HA-HA!!

I was just notified that a scammer is using pictures of my car again to make a quick buck!

http://www.autabuy.com/Vehicles/Details.cfm?VID=28831

it looks like there are about three cars in this listing;
all the exterior shots are of my car;
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/314616

I hate scammers!!

Hopefully Autabuy will pull the listing!

I haven't ever received an email yet from autabuy telling me they pulled the scammer's ad.

hopefully it didn't go to print.

I looked (because if I found a place that could/would do the GA for a fair price, I'd have it repainted;
according to their site, they only do touch ups - not repaints.



I looked high & low last year, it seemed to me like all local body shops only do repairs, I'd have to find a shop out of town to even look at doing a full repaint...

most of the regulars only meet up on saturday night (well most except for me that is);
but some of us, on occasion, will come out of the woodwork on other nights "just because"...

I'm going to be working late around my place tonight, so I can't do anything - sorry.

Ok so I'm a few pages late, but just for s&g's...

When I had my ss/sc my insurance was 108/month. I just sold it and bought a fully loaded 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander which my insurance is only $89/month! lol. Its pretty good on gas too, gets about 9-10/100 in the city!
